First Presbyterian Church in Uhrichsville served more than 500 dinners Thursday during its annual free Community Thanksgiving Meal.

The event has been held at the church for more than 20 years.

Mark Unrue, First Presbyterian's pastor, said the church delivered more than 450 meals, and at least 100 people ate in the dining room. Many people also picked up dinners.

The congregation had plenty of help.

Dennison Foursquare Gospel Church prepared 40 turkeys. The Maranatha Church provided stuffing, First Christian Church and Nickels Bakery provided rolls and the Twin City Service Center provided the vegetables. Dutch Valley Restaurant supplied the potatoes, peeled and quartered, Unrue said.

Many other churches provided help and desserts.

"Mrs. Rachelle Seibert, family and students provided help, along with the Mr. Joe Lunsford's National Honor Societies students from Claymont High School, and countless others," Unrue said. "Some folks have helped out for years and we are so grateful for Brian Stutz, who has directed the kitchen for most of the 24 years."
